How can we reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics? One promising approach is the holographic principle, which posits that quantum gravity can be described by a lower-dimensional theory without gravity. This book advances the field of discrete holography by...
The Flight Physics Concept Inventory (FliP-CoIn) is the first research-based conceptual assessment instrument for improving (fluid dynamics) learning and teaching. This work gives insights into why and how the FliP-CoIn was developed as well as how it is best used for...
Mathematics outside the classroom – this work examines the characteristics of outdoor mathematics in more detail. Leaving the classroom to discover mathematics in the environment has several potential benefits for mathematics, e.g. the acquisition of skills and...
This book examines the extent to which exotic pine plantations are a suitable strategy for maintaining the essential functions, structures, processes and identity of the Patagonian landscape over time. To this end, it integrates three empirical studies with inter- and...
Enantioselective metallaelectro-catalyzed C-H activation represents an innovative strategy for enabling the transition of organic synthesis to a more resource-economic mode of operation. It circumvents substrate prefunctionalization by directly exploiting otherwise...
Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) are technologies of increasing importance in our society. In the field of mathematics education, these innovative technologies may offer a wide range of opportunities to support immersive, individual, and active learning processes....
This book develops a framework to analyze algorithmic aspects of discrete choice models in convex optimization. The central aspect is to derive new prox-functions from discrete choice surplus functions, which are then incorporated into convex optimization schemes. The...
This thesis deals with an optimization problem from the field of theoretical plasma physics. Specifically, it deals with the question of how the accelerated electrons are spatially arranged in a plasma wave generated by a laser pulse. An internal structure of this...
This book is an up-to-date synopsis of aquatic dance flies (Clinocerinae and Hemerodromiinae), insects that have been studied for more than 200 years in Europe. Its publication comes about 80 years since the last summary report and follows a period when new scientific...
In light of increasing demands on teachers and the need to develop teaching-related competences, this book examines the situation-specific skill of teacher noticing in pre-service and in-service secondary mathematics teachers. A video-based test instrument is used to...
In this book Lukas Graf studies dynamic network flows which are a model for individual car traffic in road networks. It is assumed that drivers choose their routes based on information about the current state of the network in such a way as to selfishly minimize their...
Actinomycetes are a group of Gram-positive bacteria of which many representatives are prominent for being prolific producers of bioactive natural products including antibiotics, fungicides, antitumor agents, or immunosuppressants. SARP transcriptional regulators are...
Interatomic energy transfer phenomena caused by efficient long-range electron correlations are among the most studied processes in atomic physics today. They can provide important insights into the interaction dynamics of single atomic species with their environment in...
Maximilian Klein analyses nested Monte Carlo simulations for the approximation of conditional expected values. Thereby, the book deals with two general risk functional classes for conditional expected values, on the one hand the class of moment-based estimators (notable...
In this open access book Milena Damrau investigates the understanding of generality of mathematical statements in first-year university students and its relation to other proof-related activities. Through an experimental study, she particularly analyses the effect...
In this book, the author provides a deep study into multiscale and multiphysics modeling of nuclear facilities, underscoring the critical role of uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis to ensure the confidence in the numerical results and to identify the...
Characterizing entanglement is an important issue in quantum information, as it is considered to be a resource for many applications such as quantum key distribution or quantum metrology. One useful tool to detect and quantify entanglement are witness operators. A...
Teaching is characterized by complex interactions. Therefore, it is difficult to make global statements about a teaching sequence. However, methods that aim at a global assessment of teaching have often been used in indicator-based lesson observation. It remains unclear...
Mathematics and mathematics education research have an ongoing interest in improving our understanding of mathematical problem posing and solving. This book focuses on problem posing in a context of mathematical giftedness. The contributions particularly address where...
The book focuses on stability and approximation results concerning recent numerical methods for the numerical solution of hyperbolic conservation laws.The work begins with a detailed and thorough introduction of hyperbolic conservation/balance laws and their numerical...
